Fantabulous Read!

"I am not talking to you now through the medium of custom, conventionalities, nor even of mortal flesh: it is my spirit that adresses your spirit; just as if both had passed through the grave, and we stood at God's feet, equal- as we are!" - Jane Eyre

Jane Eyre is the wonderful story of a plain and simple girl who, as a child, is mistreated and wrongfully accused by her aunt and sentenced to Lowood, a school for orphans. After recieving an ok education Jane goes to be a governess at Thornfield where she meets the love of her life, Mr. Rochester. Yet she is only a governess and Mr. Rochester is going to be married to someone else. Jane has to make him change his mind before the dreaded wedding date.

I don't want to give too much away but there is a lot more to this story than the summary above. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and I read some parts over and over again. Sorry guys but this is mostly romance and drama. How the author tells the story and the plot are very interesting. This book is considered a classic. All of the characters are explained in such detail. You have a connection with Jane Eyre. When I read the back of this book there was one sentence in particular that caught my attention. I hope that will help you in thinking about reading this book. Jane Eyre is now one of my favorite books.

"Published in 1847 under the pen name Currer Bell, the book heralded a new kind of heroine- one whose virtuous integrity, keen intellect, and tireless perserverance broke through class barriers to win equal stature with the man she loved."

That sentence and the quote at the top describe Jane Eyre best.

A Great Love Story

Not intended for the melancholy, this classic literature is full of hope, full of love that you rarely find in writings those days. Jane Eyre, a plain and poor girl, a cast out among her known rich relatives, tried to make her way in this world when she advertised for governess position and received a call from Thornfield Hall. In this place, she was presented with a very agreeable student and company, Mr. Edward F. Rochester. The courting game began slowly but surely towards Jane who was still a naive girl of eighteen. Together they overcame their differences such in age and had planned to be married soon. But a terrible secret broke out and Jane fled from the Hall, leaving her crushed love behind. In her sanctuary, she found another kind of suitor in the form of a cousin, St. John Rivers. She loved him as a brother and she thought the feeling is mutual until a proposal came and the true character of St John revealed but still with power to control her resolution, in the name of his holy purpose. Right at that moment, a supernatural thing happen (which I guarantee will cause your hair stand on end) that called her back to the beloved Thornfield Hall and its master. I don't think this event was out of place. In fact, it served as the last, elegant seal on the round up.

A profound love story with two unlikely characters. No beauty beyond compare and no handsome prince 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'. Through this tale, Ms Bronte also conveyed her opinion and principle about love, marriage, physical display, conceited faith, gender equality and sound educated mind, especially of women.

Her style in expressing the main characters' personality and principal was a thorough exploration of the mind and heart without too much side comments which often sidetracked a narrative. Expressive dialogs and vivid description were her main strengths that I like most. Though it is still consistent with the writing style of its era, it will reward satisfactorily every modern reader who faithfully peruses its chapters.

Outstanding in Every Sense of the Word

Jane Eyre is the ultimate orphan senario: a child's parents die and they are left to live with an aunt or uncle.

jane is a governess hired by one Mr. Rochester to teach a sweet blonde child who may or may not even be his ligetimate child (not that it matters).

While Jane teaches in mr. rochester's house, the two of them fall maddly in love. but, like most men in dark fiction romance, mr. Rochester has a dark secret.

at night jane's employer is set on fire by an unseen culprit. mr. rochester barely speaks of it -- he even acts like its happened before.

all of the servants are hush-hush about it, and it seems jane and the blonde child are the only ones out on the secret.

at night when jane is in bed she hears a terrible growling and is often asked by mr. rocester to stand watch. she even wakes to find a ghostly face sneering at her in her bed -- but remains the outwardly calm Jane we all grow to know and love.

at last, the truth is revealed and jane and mr. rochester suffer a long separation.

what exactly is mr. rochester's dark secret? and will jane, the couragous shero of the tale, ever know happiness in his arms? or will she be doomed to forever remain alone?

fine out. it is one of those books any well-read person should read.

Poignant

I really enjoyed this novel. The whole plot and the literature is so descriptive and beautiful... I could not let it down. The author grasps you into the story, with the delightful romance and the plot elements here and there, it is put together very coherently. Everyone of Jane's decisions are vital to the progression of this novel. The excellent narration was one my favorite highlights in this novel. Not to mention, unforgettable characters, haunting moments, and love themes all will make us think introspectively. Highly reccommended.
